Adopt a Cat and TNR in Dubai: About Kittysnip

The registered non-profit animal welfare group works to TNR cats, and find homes for kitties

Hundreds, if not thousands, of cats are homeless, stray or lost in Dubai and across the UAE.

Rescue groups and animal shelters in Dubai work tirelessly to help re-home or find foster homes for cats where they are able to. But the reality is that unfortunately, there just aren't enough homes for all the cats on the stress here.

Whilst your first instinct may be to feed and care for a homeless cat or group of cats in Dubai, remember that they needn't be fed every day. Providing water and food every other day or so should be enough.

However to really help the population of stray cats in Dubai, the best thing to do - if you can afford to do so - is to trap, spay/neuter and release the animal to the original location you found it. This process is also know as TNR (trap, neuter and release).

TNR programmes are ran in various communities across the city - places like The Springs and Meadows have their own dedicated team of residents who are dedicated to TNR'ing cats in the areas.

On the other hand, you have animal organisations like Kittysnip. They're a registered, non-profit animal welfare group that work hard to TNR cats, plus they arrange adoptions for abandoned and neglected cats across Dubai.
